Governor makes appointment to Liquefied Petroleum Gas Advisory Board

To ensure the safety of Kansas consumers, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed Randy Dugan to serve on the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Advisory Board.

“Our state has a wide variety of energy sources, including LP gas. The goal of this board is to ensure Kansans are able to have their energy needs met in a cost-effective manner, without sacrificing safety,” said Sebelius.

The Liquefied Petroleum Gas Advisory Board reviews and makes recommendations on proposed rules and regulations concerning liquefied petroleum gas prior to the submission of such rules and regulations to the Secretary of Administration.

Dugan, El Dorado, is the propane division manager of Regional Energy Group, overseeing four propane bulk plant locations. He has worked in the petroleum and propane industry for over thirty years. Dugan previously worked at Farmers Grain Coop as petroleum manager and propane manager.

Dugan will fulfill an unexpired four-year term.
